Hallowe’en is a holiday for children celebrated on 31 October. It means ‘holy evening.’
Every Hallowe’en children put on some scary masks and costumes of a witch, ghost, vampire, werewolf, Dracula, or Frankenstein. Then they go from house to house and say magic words, TRICK OR TREAT, MONEY OR EAT. People give them a treat, such as sweets, chocolate, biscuits, fruit or pumpkin pie. If they don’t, the children play a trick on them, like throwing flour or toilet paper on their houses.
Children also cut faces in pumpkins and put candles inside. These lamps are called Jack o’ lanterns. They are usually put in the windows.
A lot of children go to Hallowe’en parties, where they play a game called Apple Bobbing. They fill a large bowl with water and put some apples inside. One or two players get down on their knees and try to bite an apple with their hands behind their back.
